Advertising & Analytics

We may use advertising and analytics services provided by platforms such as Google and Meta.

These technologies may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to understand website activity, measure advertising performance, build audiences, and provide advertisements that may be more relevant to users.

Depending on your location, applicable law may give you the right to limit or opt out of certain targeted advertising or sharing activities.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support essential store functions, remember preferences, analyze website usage, prevent fraud, and support advertising and marketing.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate, while others may be used for analytics or advertising where permitted.

How We Share Information

We do not disclose personal information except where reasonably necessary to operate our store, fulfill orders, provide services, comply with legal obligations, protect our business and customers, or conduct permitted marketing and advertising activities.

Depending on applicable privacy law, certain advertising-related disclosures may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or use for targeted advertising even where no money is exchanged.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain business and transaction records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and satisfy legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.
